There are two approaches to spending your time in this complex enigma of a town called Gainesville.
You can complain that, “there’s nothing to do” and drown your sorrows in a sub-par 3-4-1 Long Island at Cantina every night, or you can embrace your precious time here in Hogtown and go explore.
We’ve helped you survive your road trips and spring break. We supply you with killer pregame music, and we tell you where to stuff your face, but we haven’t exactly helped you become the cultured, Renaissance man you’ve always dreamed of being after watching “Anchorman” or “Archer.”
Every week we will provide you with a few of the best happenings of the city that don’t involve blacking out in Midtown or watching Study Edge at Club West.
Gainesville, it’s time to culture your fu**ing self.
